Company CEO J.Paul Stevenson commented, "Sego's recent drilling at the Cuba Zone of Miner Mountain has returned copper, gold & silver grades that indicate the continuation of mineralization in this project area. We are excited by the new drill results because they show strong copper and gold mineralization was intersected in multiple zones at depth. The results also indicate a new area of alteration, including potassic alteration, which we will explore further in 2018."

Cuba Zone Drilling

Assay results from two new diamond drill holes from Miner Mountain's developing Cuba Zone have returned copper and gold grades comparable to grades encountered in prior drill testing.

DD Hole 17-30 was positioned 150 metres to the east of DDH-17-29, and targeted to the south of previous drilling in order to test for copper-gold porphyry mineralization in this new area.

Sego Resources is planning further extensive drilling to commence in Q1 2018. Future drilling is planned to locate the primary copper-gold-mineralizing heat source, and to prove consistent copper-gold grades for a resource calculation, particularly in the new area near DDH 17-30 located to the south of previous drilling. The Company's aim is to outline a bulk tonnage copper-gold porphyry deposit at Miner Mountain to maximize shareholder value.
